Westworth Village’s center stands about 590 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 540 ft to 790 ft, a difference of 250 ft: rolling country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Blue Mound, about 840 ft, 13 miles north-northeast.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Terrace deposits (sand), from the Pleistocene to Holocene, less than 2.6 million years old.
The section below crosses 9 rock units mapped at the surface.
Heights every 0.1 mile from the Copernicus GLO-90 surface model; vertical exaggeration about 34×. The colored band under the surface is the rock the state geologic map shows at the surface, not a picture of what lies beneath.
Limestone. Age: Early Cretaceous, 100 to 113 million years old. About 7 mi of the line.
Sand. Age: Pleistocene to Holocene, less than 2.6 million years old. About 5 mi of the line.
Fine-detrital, coarse-detrital. Age: Holocene, less than 12,000 years old. About 5 mi of the line.
Clay. Age: Early Cretaceous, 100 to 145 million years old. About 3 mi of the line.
Claystone. Age: Early Cretaceous, 100 to 145 million years old. About 1 mi of the line.
Marlstone, limestone. Age: Early Cretaceous to Late Cretaceous, 66 to 145 million years old. About 1 mi of the line.
From the USGS State Geologic Map Compilation (Horton and others, 2017), the states’ geologic maps joined at a common scale. 3 smaller units along the line are not listed.

A raindrop that lands in Westworth Village reaches Galveston Bay and the Gulf of America by way of Farmers Branch, the West Fork Trinity and the Trinity: about 510 river miles.
Lake on the way: Woodlands Golf Course Lake.
270 miles of the trip are on the Trinity.
